The guessing stops here. Finally understand what's really behind your child's tantrums. Here's the truth: you're not failing as a parent. You've just been working with generic, one-size-fits-all advice that doesn't account for who your child actually is. No wonder it feels like nothing works! There's a better way. Stop following everyone else's advice, and start following your child's own patterns. Every hard moment holds a clue. Sweetpea helps you see it. A note from Dr. McKenzie: Hi! I'm a mom and clinical child psychologist. I built Sweetpea because I've watched far too many exhausted parents blame themselves for their child's behavior. You're not the problem. You just haven't been able to see what's behind the tantrums. With Sweetpea, you'll finally know what's really setting your child off and whether things are getting better. No more guessing. How Sweetpea works: 1) Log tantrums in seconds. Tap through it, or just describe what happened out loud. 2) Review the reports to spot patterns in their behavior. 3) See what tends to set them off, and whether things are getting better. ——— Sweetpea offers auto-renewing monthly and yearly subscriptions, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan for new subscribers. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple account settings.
